PAPER CONTAINER FOR FROZEN CONFECTIONS Filed April 11, 1928 Patented Apr. 15, 1930 PATENT OFFICE GEORGE L. PORTER, OF STEUIBENVILLE, 01110 PAPER CONTAINER FOR FROZEN CONFECTIONS Application filed April 11,

This invention relates broadly. topapercontainers, and more specifically to a receptacle or cup of the character commonly employed as temporary containers for. frozen 5 confections.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a paper container having a removable cap-like closure and provided with means whereby its interior may be divided into separate upper and lower compartments, one

adapted or having packed therein'ice cream, frozen custard, or other similar congealed product, and the other adapted for containing a syrup or other non-congealed liquid designed for use as a dressing in the formation of a sundae or similar confection.

\ It is a more or less common practice among confectioners to supply to customers ice cream or similarly congealed products, and a non-congealed liquid product which, when applied as a dressing to such congealed product, shall form a sundae or like confection. These are commonly packed in separate containers to be suitably mixed by the customer when ready to serve, thereby to-l'n'event the premature melting of the congealed product which naturally results from contact there with of the non-congealed product. It is the aim of the present invention to provide in a. single container simple and inexpensive means whereby the two products may effectually be maintained separate, thereby to preserve the condition of the frozen. product unimpaired by contact therewith of the liquid dressing.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is herein had to the accompanying drawing, inwhich the single figure is a view of the invention, partly in side elevation and partly in vertical section. I Referring to said drawing, 1 designates the body of the container which is preferably made of paper and which, while preferably having the tapered form shown, may be made in the form of a cylinder. The body 1 has its lower end permanently closed by a bottom'2 which rests upon the upper-edge of an .inturned upright flange 3 formed circumferentially on said end. Said bottom .2 has a 2.; vi ferential flange which is closely em- 1928. Serial No. 269,221.

braced by the adjacent walls of said body and which is preferably attached to the latter by a suitable adhesive substance.

A suitable closure is removably fitted upon the upper end of the body 1. As herein shown for purposes of illustration, said body has formed therein below and adjacent to its rim 5 an internal annular seating groove or channel 6 formed by pressing the material thereof outwardly into external annular bead form, and a circularv flat disk 7 has its circumferential edge seated in said channel.

Provided in the container body at a suitable level intermediate its top and bottom ends is an internal annular channel 8 similar to the channel 6 above referred to, the same being designed for the reception in firmly seated relation thereto the peripheral edge of a circular fiat disk 9, made of paper or other suitable flexible material, whereby the container maybe divided into upper and lower compartments, one thereof adapted for having packed therein a quantity of a frozen product and the other a liquid-moduct with which said frozen product may later be 0 dressed in the formation of the edible confection desired. Said disk 9 is adapted readily to be sprung into and out of place with respect to its seating channel 8.

hat is claimed is- A paper confection container composed of a body having a top anda permanently closed bottom, and having an integral annular channel opening into the body interior and disposed between said top and bottom, a disk adapted to be sprung into the channel to form a pair of compartments one to receive a frozen confection and the other a liquid dressing for the frozen confection. said disk having liquid tight engagement with the body so as to prem vent the dressing from contact with the frozen confection and being removable so as to allow both the frozen confection and the dressing to be removed through the top of the body,,and a removable closure for the top of l the body.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
